She/Her/Hers/They/Them/Theirs

Anna is the Executive Director and Founder of Rise in Resiliency. Anna has worked with individuals across the age spectrum, both internationally and domestically, supporting the mental health and emotional resiliency skills for populations that historically lack access to care. She was a lead contributor in the behavioral health policy development for the 5 year Medicaid Health Plan for The Oregon Healthy Authority, advocating for and incorporating trauma informed care, integrated and holistic services, as well as increased standards of care for the Oregon Medicaid population.

Anna's passion lies with helping others, especially the change makers of tomorrow: school-aged youth and their communities. Throughout her years of experience, her wish has whittled down to a simple desire: for all humans to truly experience unconditional self love and to live in emotional freedom, no matter the resources or location.
